Electro - galvanized external serrated lock washers find extensive applications across multiple industries. In the automotive industry, they are used to secure various components. For example, in engine assemblies, they are used to fasten parts like the cylinder head cover, where high vibration and temperature fluctuations occur. The anti - loosening property ensures that the bolts remain tight, preventing oil leaks and maintaining the proper functioning of the engine. In the manufacturing of industrial machinery, they are used in the assembly of equipment such as conveyor belts, motors, and pumps. These machines often operate under continuous vibration and heavy loads, and the external serrated lock washers help to keep the fasteners in place, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and ensuring the stable operation of the machinery. In the construction sector, they are used in the installation of structural steel components. In a building's framework, for instance, they are used to fasten beams and columns together, providing additional stability and resistance to wind and seismic forces. They are also commonly used in household appliances, such as washing machines and dryers, where they prevent the loosening of bolts due to the vibration generated during operation.
